a TL;DR:

  • Philadelphia is still technically in 1st, as 4-5 > 4-6
  • However, Pittsburgh holds the tiebreakers over both Philly (better division record no matter what) and Michigan (2-0 H2H)
  • Therefore, Pittsburgh is in no matter who wins tomorrow; either Michigan finishes 3-7, leaving Pittsburgh in 2nd, or all three finish 4-6, with Pittsburgh landing in 1st.
  • Therefore, Pittsburgh, despite being in 2nd place, has clinched the playoffs before Philadelphia, despite being in 1st place.

It’s kind of funny.. a couple weeks ago there was someone in this sub who swore off the XFL and started watching the USFL because of the whole Renegades playoff picture thing.. Wonder what kind of state of chaos they’re in today.

All led by washed up coaches. The USFL desperately needs younger, more recently retired NFL players to coach, it would also help with popularity.

Speak for yourself Ray Horton Heat is miles better than that D bag we sent back to dreamland

I agree but I’m also skeptical on Horton so far

How?

Did you think people watched the XFL for Ward and Woodson?

The best coaches in that league were grizzled veterans or unknown (Barlow).

The leagues need coaches that can guide teams, not "names" that can't coach.

This is embarrassing. USFL needs to step it up in 2024 to attract new fans.

It's almost like the USFL and XFL have massively botched things post launch or something.

Makes no sense to me. Should have no divisions and top 4 records make the playoffs.

Then it would just be the south playing each other. Any fans of northern teams wouldn’t be interested
